Joc Pederson smashed a historic 11-pitch leadoff home run for the Texas Rangers, the longest at-bat for a Rangers leadoff homer since pitch tracking began in 1988. After a tough season, Pederson’s patience and power are paying off as he leads off with authority. His 28th career homer — and second with the Rangers — came after battling through a tough count, fouling off multiple pitches before finally connecting. The Rangers offense exploded later, with Wyatt Langford’s three-run homer scoring Pederson and Jake Burger adding another, all against a struggling Kevin Gausman. With Corey Seager back from concussion protocol, this surge signals a potential turning point for the Rangers’ offense.
